Chopper name ...

[Silver Ether]

ok this is driving me nuts .. the curved blade for chopping herbs .. that seems to come double blades with a variety of boards these days ... mine is just a single blad on its own ...


Whats it called .. Please.

Hi Silver Ether, maybe the name you are looking for is "Ulu knife". They often are supplied with a chopping board, which has a bowl-shaped cut-out in it (innit!).

i know it as a mezzaluna.

I think we call ours the mezulla??? don't use it very much though.

Yep Mrs Flibble is right it's a mezzaluna :)

Thankyou mezzaluna is the one I know, I just could't bring it to mind. Ulu might be easier to remember though Thanks for putting me out of nutsville

After a post called 'name our kitten', I was quite shocked to see one called 'chopper name..' I thought someone was asking for help naming their, erm, chopper!

[mrsflibble]

I thought Silver Ether had bought a helicopter!

[fruitcake]

the title made me think of those bikes that everyone had when we were kids

I didn't know mezzaluna was the name for the herb chopping thingy - I will now off and impress OH (spesh as i got him one for xmas) with my newfound knowledge

[mrsflibble]

my mum calls it a "half roundey parsley thing"... we all know whats she means.

[Rosendula]

I just call mine a 'herb knife'. I didn't know there was a proper name for it.

That's what I call it too

From the French "hacher" meaning to chop.

But I think I might prefer "mezzaluna"
